Reviews

Great story


(5 stars)

I'm new to this author, I really enjoyed the story and the reader. I will definitely listen to more from this writer.


(5 stars)

Excellent book! Tom is an amazing reader; he makes the pages simply come alive. Bravo!

a story of espionage with great deal of mystery throughout


(3.5 stars)

The reader is steady and clear (without being dry!) easy to listen to. I enjoyed the story as well. The beginning had some extremely repetitive conversations that were hard to get through (ie “this man is going to die”) but the story picked up after a bit and was well worth listening to.

Interesting "read"


(4 stars)

The narrator did a decent job at making this intrigue story an enjoyable & interesting read. Just enough uncertainty to keep you listening. Going to listen to more books by this author.

Absolutely ridiculous and preposterous...and thrilling. The granddaddy of every James Bond film. Engagingly read.
